New Delhi, February 11: A 16-year-old girl was abducted by two men and raped in a moving car in Kanjhawala area of northwest Delhi on Friday.


The accused pushed the girl into a Wagon R and drove around the neighbourhood even as they took turns to rape her, police said. The accused, Amit and Manoj, have been held.


Shockingly, the car zoomed past scores of pickets and police barricades, but was not stopped even once. After four agonizing hours, the girl was finally dumped by the wayside. Battered and bruised, she got up and staggered home in the dead of night. That the car skirted detection at several barricades raises serious questions about the efficacy of the police force.


The girl was abducted around 7.30pm after she left home to buy milk. She told police that when she headed towards a shop near Utsav Vihar, a car screeched to a halt in front of her. One of the occupants of the car pulled her inside and tried to gag her, police said. The girl told police that one of the accused was her brother-in-law's friend who had earlier visited home. Surprisingly, the car circled around the Outer Delhi areas of Mangolpuri, Narela, Kanjhawala and Bawana areas without a single chase by a PCR van.


Around 11.30pm, the accused dumped the girl near the forests of Kanjhawala and fled. The girl managed to reach home and told her parents about the incident. The shocked parents then approached the police for help.


"We lodged a case and began investigations. The victim's medical examination has confirmed rape. We were able to arrest the accused after raids on their hideout. One of the accused was known to the victim. They have been produced in court," a senior police officer said.


The girl, a school dropout, lives with her parents and three sisters in Kanjhawala area. One of the accused, Amit is a transporter while Manoj is a driver. Police are verifying their antecedents and sources said they have a criminal past.
